On Saturday, 8 April, LASH had its second semiannual Eyeglasses Sorting event of this FY at the Maryland School for the Blind. 32 Lions from 14 clubs participated.
They sorted 24,000 pairs of eyeglasses, 84 sets of hearing aids, and 70 cellphones. Eyeglasses will be sent to a company for reconditioning and reissue overseas or to a recycling company.
The hearing aids will be taken to the Towson University Hearing
and Balance Center for refurbishment to issue to clients who could otherwise not afford them.
The cellphones will be given to a veterans organization to recycle for money to purchase phone cards and the like for military overseas.
